Definition

Let \( {S}^{(w)}\) be a set of weighted points in \( \mathbb{R}^3\).

Let \( {p}^{(w)}=(p,w_p), p\in\mathbb{R}^3, w_p\in\mathbb{R}\) and \( {z}^{(w)}=(z,w_z), z\in\mathbb{R}^3, w_z\in\mathbb{R}\) be two weighted points. A weighted point \( {p}^{(w)}=(p,w_p)\) can also be seen as a sphere of center \( p\) and radius \( \sqrt{w_p}\). The power product (or power distance ) between \( {p}^{(w)}\) and \( {z}^{(w)}\) is defined as

\[ \Pi({p}^{(w)},{z}^{(w)}) = {\|{p-z}\|^2-w_p-w_z} \]

where \( \|{p-z}\|\) is the Euclidean distance between \( p\) and \( z\). \( {p}^{(w)}\) and \( {z}^{(w)}\) are said to be orthogonal if \( \Pi{({p}^{(w)}-{z}^{(w)})} = 0\) (see Figure 39.2).

Four weighted points have a unique common orthogonal weighted point called the power sphere. A sphere \( {z}^{(w)}\) is said to be regular if \( \forall {p}^{(w)}\in{S}^{(w)}, \Pi{({p}^{(w)}-{z}^{(w)})}\geq 0\).

A triangulation of \( {S}^{(w)}\) is regular if the power spheres of all simplices are regular.

Template Parameters
RegularTriangulationTraits_3is the geometric traits class.
TriangulationDataStructure_3is the triangulation data structure. It has the default value Triangulation_data_structure_3<Triangulation_vertex_base_3<RegularTriangulationTraits_3>, Regular_triangulation_cell_base_3<RegularTriangulationTraits_3> >.
SurjectiveLockDataStructureis an optional parameter to specify the type of the spatial lock data structure. It is only used if the triangulation data structure used is concurrency-safe (i.e. when TriangulationDataStructure_3::Concurrency_tag is Parallel_tag). It must be a model of the SurjectiveLockDataStructure concept, with Object being a Point. The default value is Spatial_lock_grid_3<Tag_priority_blocking> if the triangulation data structure is concurrency-safe, and void otherwise. In order to use concurrent operations, the user must provide a reference to a SurjectiveLockDataStructure instance via the constructor or Triangulation_3::set_lock_data_structure.

If TriangulationDataStructure_3::Concurrency_tag is Parallel_tag, some operations, such as insertion/removal of a range of points, are performed in parallel. See the documentation of the operations for more details.

Queries

Let us remark that \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z}^{(w)}) > 0 \) is equivalent to p lies outside the sphere with center z and radius \( \sqrt{w_p^2+w_z^2}\).

This remark helps provide an intuition about the following predicates.

In the weighted setting, a face (cell, facet, edge or vertex) is said to be a Gabriel face iff the smallest sphere orthogonal to the weighted points associated to its vertices, has a positive power product with the weighted point of any other vertex of the triangulation.

Any weighted Gabriel face belongs to the regular triangulation, but the reciprocal is not true. The following member functions test the Gabriel property of the faces of the regular triangulation.

bool is_Gabriel (Cell_handle c, int i)
 
bool is_Gabriel (Cell_handle c, int i, int j)
 
bool is_Gabriel (const Facet &f)
 
bool is_Gabriel (const Edge &e)
 
bool is_Gabriel (Vertex_handle v)
 

Power Diagram

CGAL offers several functionalities to display the power diagram of a set of points in 3D.

Note that the user should use a kernel with exact constructions in order to guarantee the computation of the Voronoi diagram (as opposed to computing the triangulation only, which requires only exact predicates).

 Returns the weighted circumcenter of the four vertices of c. More...
 
Object dual (Facet f) const
 Returns the dual of facet f, which is. More...
 
Object dual (Cell_handle c, int i) const

template<class Stream >
Stream & draw_dual (Stream &os)
 Sends the set of duals to all the facets of rt into os.
 

Checking

bool is_valid (bool verbose=false) const
 This is a function for debugging purpose. More...

)

Creates an empty regular triangulation, possibly specifying a traits class traits.

lock_ds is an optional pointer to the lock data structure for parallel operations. It must be provided if concurrency is enabled.

Copy constructor.

The pointer to the lock data structure is not copied. Thus, the copy won't be concurrency-safe as long as the user has not called Triangulation_3::set_lock_data_structure.

Compute the conflicts with p.

Parameters
pThe query point.
cThe starting cell.
citThe cells (resp. facets) in conflict with p.
bfitThe facets (resp. edges) on the boundary of the conflict zone, that is, the facets (resp. edges) (t, i) where the cell (resp.. facet) t is in conflict, but t->neighbor(i) is not.
ifitThe facets (resp. edges) inside the conflict zone, that facets incident to two cells (resp. facets) in conflict.
could_lock_zoneThe optional argument could_lock_zone is used by the concurrency-safe version of the triangulation. If the pointer is not null, the algorithm will try to lock all the cells of the conflict zone, i.e. all the vertices that are inside or on the boundary of the conflict zone (as a result, the boundary cells become partially locked). If it succeeds, *could_lock_zone is true, otherwise it is false (and the returned conflict zone is only partial). In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by the function, leaving this choice to the user.
this_facet_must_be_in_the_czIf the optional argument this_facet_must_be_in_the_cz is not null, the algorithm will check if this facet is in the conflict zone (it may be internal as well as boundary).
the_facet_is_in_its_czThis argument must be not null if the previous this_facet_must_be_in_the_cz argument is not null. The boolean value pointed by this pointer is set to true if *this_facet_must_be_in_the_cz is among the internal or boundary facets of the conflict zone, and false otherwise.
Precondition
The starting cell (resp. facet) c must be in conflict with p.
rt.dimension() \( \geq2\), and c is in conflict with p.

Cell_handle  start = Cell_handle(),
bool *  could_lock_zone = NULL 
)

Inserts weighted point p in the triangulation.

The optional argument start is used as a starting place for the search.

If this insertion creates a vertex, this vertex is returned.

If p coincides with an existing vertex and has a greater weight, then the existing weighted point becomes hidden (see RegularTriangulationCellBase_3) and p replaces it as vertex of the triangulation.

If p coincides with an already existing vertex (both point and weights being equal), then this vertex is returned and the triangulation remains unchanged.

Otherwise if p does not appear as a vertex of the triangulation, then it is stored as a hidden point and this method returns the default constructed handle.

The optional argument could_lock_zone is used by the concurrency-safe version of the triangulation. If the pointer is not null, the insertion will try to lock all the cells of the conflict zone, i.e. all the vertices that are inside or on the boundary of the conflict zone. If it succeeds, *could_lock_zone is true, otherwise it is false (and the point is not inserted). In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by the function, leaving this choice to the user.

Inserts weighted point p in the triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex.

Similar to the above insert() function, but takes as additional parameter the return values of a previous location query. See description of Triangulation_3::locate().

std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Regular_triangulation_3< RegularTriangulationTraits_3, TriangulationDataStructure_3, SurjectiveLockDataStructure >::insert ( InputIterator  first,

Inserts the weighted points in the range [first,last).

It returns the difference of the number of vertices between after and before the insertions (it may be negative due to hidden points). Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the points following the order of InputIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency. If parallelism is enabled, the points will be inserted in parallel.

Inserts the weighted points in the iterator range [first,last).

It returns the difference of the number of vertices between after and before the insertions (it may be negative due to hidden points). Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the weighted points following the order of WeightedPointWithInfoInputIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency. If parallelism is enabled, the points will be inserted in parallel. Given a pair (p,i), the vertex v storing p also stores i, that is v.point() == p and v.info() == i. If several pairs have the same point, only one vertex is created, one of the objects of type Vertex::Info will be stored in the vertex.

Vertex must be model of the concept TriangulationVertexBaseWithInfo_3.

CellIt  cell_begin,
CellIt  cell_end,
Cell_handle  begin,
int  i 
)

Creates a new vertex by starring a hole.

It takes an iterator range [cell_begin,cell_end) of Cell_handles which specifies a hole: a set of connected cells (resp. facets in dimension 2) which is star-shaped wrt p. (begin, i) is a facet (resp. an edge) on the boundary of the hole, that is, begin belongs to the set of cells (resp. facets) previously described, and begin->neighbor(i) does not. Then this function deletes all the cells (resp. facets) describing the hole, creates a new vertex v, and for each facet (resp. edge) on the boundary of the hole, creates a new cell (resp. facet) with v as vertex. Then v->set_point(p) is called and v is returned.

If the hole contains interior vertices, each of them is hidden by the insertion of p and is stored in the new cell which contains it.

Precondition
rt.dimension() \( \geq2\), the set of cells (resp. facets in dimension 2) is connected, not empty, its boundary is connected, and p lies inside the hole, which is star-shaped wrt p.

This is a function for debugging purpose.

Debugging Support

Checks the combinatorial validity of the triangulation and the validity of its geometric embedding (see Section Representation). Also checks that all the power spheres (resp. power circles in dimension 2, power segments in dimension 1) of cells (resp. facets in dimension 2, edges in dimension 1) are regular. When verbose is set to true, messages describing the first invalidity encountered are printed. This method is mainly a debugging help for the users of advanced features.

Cell_handle  c = Cell_handle() 
)

Returns the vertex of the triangulation which is nearest to \( p\) with respect to the power distance.

This means that the power of the query point p with respect to the weighted point in the returned vertex is smaller than the power of p with respect to the weighted point in any other vertex. Ties are broken arbitrarily. The default constructed handle is returned if the triangulation is empty. The optional argument c is a hint specifying where to start the search.

c is a cell of rt.

bool CGAL::Regular_triangulation_3< RegularTriangulationTraits_3, TriangulationDataStructure_3, SurjectiveLockDataStructure >::remove ( Vertex_handle  v,
bool *  could_lock_zone 
)

Removes the vertex v from the triangulation.

This function is concurrency-safe if the triangulation is concurrency-safe. It will first try to lock all the cells adjacent to v. If it succeeds, *could_lock_zone is true, otherwise it is false (and the point is not removed). In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by the function, leaving this choice to the user.

This function will try to remove v only if the removal does not decrease the dimension. The return value is only meaningful if *could_lock_zone is true:

  • returns true if the vertex was removed
  • returns false if the vertex wasn't removed since it would decrease the dimension.
Precondition
v is a finite vertex of the triangulation.

The number of vertices removed is returned. If parallelism is enabled, the points will be removed in parallel. Note that if at some step, the triangulation dimension becomes lower than 3, the removal of the remaining points will go on sequentially.

Precondition
(i) all vertices of the range are finite vertices of the triangulation; and (ii) no vertices are repeated in the range.

Bounded_side CGAL::Regular_triangulation_3< RegularTriangulationTraits_3, TriangulationDataStructure_3, SurjectiveLockDataStructure >::side_of_power_circle ( const Facet f,
const Weighted_point p 
) const

Returns the position of the point p with respect to the power circle of f.

More precisely, it returns:

  • in dimension 3:
  • For a finite facet,

ON_BOUNDARY if p is orthogonal to the power circle in the plane of the facet,

ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE when their angle is less than \( \pi/2\),

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE when it is greater than \( \pi/2\) (see Figure Triangulation3figsidedim2).

  • For an infinite facet, it considers the plane defined by the finite facet of the cell f.first, and does the same as in dimension 2 in this plane.
  • in dimension 2:
  • For a finite facet,

ON_BOUNDARY if p is orthogonal to the circle,

ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE when the angle between p and the power circle of f is less than \( \pi/2\), ON_BOUNDED_SIDE when it is greater than \( \pi/2\).

  • For an infinite facet,

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE for a point in the open half plane defined by f and not containing any other point of the triangulation,

ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE in the other open half plane.

If the point p is collinear with the finite edge e of f, it returns:

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z(e)}^{(w)})<0\), where \( {z(e)}^{(w)}\) is the power segment of e in the line supporting e,

ON_BOUNDARY if \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z(e)}^{(w)})=0\),

Bounded_side CGAL::Regular_triangulation_3< RegularTriangulationTraits_3, TriangulationDataStructure_3, SurjectiveLockDataStructure >::side_of_power_sphere ( Cell_handle  c,
const Weighted_point p 
) const

Returns the position of the weighted point \( p\) with respect to the power sphere of c.

More precisely, it returns:

  • ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z(c)}^{(w)})<0\) where \( {z(c)}^{(w)}\) is the power sphere of c. For an infinite cell this means either that p lies strictly in the half space limited by its finite facet and not containing any other point of the triangulation, or that the angle between p and the power circle of the finite facet of c is greater than \( \pi/2\).
  • ON_BOUNDARY if p is orthogonal to the power sphere of c i.e. \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z(c)}^{(w)})=0\). For an infinite cell this means that p is orthogonal to the power circle of its finite facet.
  • ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE if \( \Pi({p}^{(w)}-{z(c)}^{(w)})>0\) i.e. the angle between the weighted point p and the power sphere of c is less than \( \pi/2\) or if these two spheres do not intersect. For an infinite cell this means that p does not satisfy either of the two previous conditions.
